The majority of web users don't have antialiasing enabled, which makes sans-serif fonts much easier to read than serif.

I doubt it's still true today, what with all our fancy technologies like subpixel antialiasing and the like.

This is a standalone rendering mode that offers up to double the antialiasing performance by splitting the antialiasing workload between the two graphics cards, offering superior image quality.

(computer graphics) a technique that is used to smooth jagged distortions in curves and diagonal lines so they appear smoother
In digital signal processing, spatial anti-aliasing is the technique of minimizing the distortion artifacts known as aliasing when representing a high-resolution image at a lower resolution. Anti-aliasing is used in digital photography, computer graphics, digital audio, and many other applications.
Any technique that reduces the appearance of jagged edges in digital images caused by high-contrast borders between pixels
(Anti-alias) The blending of pixel colours on the perimeter of hard-edged shapes, like type, to smooth undesirable edges (jaggies).
(ANTIALIAS) (New in PIL 1.1.3). Calculate the output pixel value using a high-quality resampling filter (a truncated sinc) on all pixels that may contribute to the output value. In the current version of PIL, this filter can only be used with the resize and thumbnail methods.
(Anti-alias) Anti-alias is a feature used to smooth out jagged edges of an electronic graphic image.
(Anti-alias) To diminish the stairstep-like lines in images that should be smooth, by surrounding the jagged edges with shades of color.
(anti-alias) The software process of smoothing jagged edges on diagonal and curved lines by filling in the surrounding area with varying shades of grey or color to blur the edge for a smoother appearance.
(antialias) Pixels that are added to the edges of a shape or characters of type to give it a smoother appearance.
